Lower tier ship skins at teir 5

This to me seems like something of a no brainer, I know it been mentioned before but how many people would like to be flying a T5 Galaxy class or T5 Intrepid? I'd wager a good deal of people, myself included, would absolutley love this idea and should be quite easy to implement as unlike new ship design these have already approved and in game. It would vary the type's of ship's we see and as they're only a skin nobody would be at a disadvantage.
Even if Cryptic didn't want to just add them to the game how about as rewards for doing various missions or even (though not preferred) through the C-store, again I'd bet more people would be willing to use their points to buy these designs than some of the new ones.
I guess we'll just have to wait and see if Cryptic take notice and look into this, I know I'll be keeping me fingers crossed (though hopefully not to long - have you ever tried playing while your fingers are crossed :p).

    I agree OP and so do alot of other people. You have probably summised, as I have, that Crypric is not interested in this idea. As you say, it's easy to impliment and would please alot of players. It's yet another of those decisions that I just shake my head at.

    Agreed. How hard would it be to just sell them in the C-Store? I would pay for a Tier 5 Intrepid or Defiant class as would most other people I am sure. You would think that the classic iconic ships from the Star Trek series would be the ones you would be able to have at the end of the game but I guess not? Is there upgrade concerns? A different plan they have for them? Also, the missing ships (Nebula Class, Excelsior Class, Ambassador Class, Steamrunner Class) with those I can understand it may be a licensing issue. But give us the opportunity to have the Tier 4 ships at Tier 5! It's making me upset. I don't want my RA to be flying in a Luna Class for the rest of my gameplay.

    Cryptic has already announced that there will be T5 refit versions of the Galaxy, Defiant, and Intrepid available later for people to buy and use.

    That's good news, do I dare ask if there was any sort of timeline given for when we can expect these?

    I'd wait for dstahl to post something in his engineering report or on the calendar (or both). Until then it's just kind of speculation that it will be after the referral program goes in. But kind of in that gray area of ... down the line a bit.
